INEC

Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has removed 1,608, 660 invalid registrants from the voter register, RaveNewsOnline reports.

INEC said this is part of an ongoing clean-up exercise, following claims, objections and complaints that trailed the preliminary voter register that was displayed by the commission in October.

The clean-up exercise also led to the removal from the register of a total of 876 voters, who have been verified as deceased.

The commission said it would publish the cleaned-up voter register on December 16, 2026, as required by the electoral law.
